And, We Found The Fishes

We only went to the Baptist Church site today. We caught lots of tennessee snubnoses without a problem, along with a good number of redline and banded darters. A blotchside logperch or two were even netted in the low water of what's usually a fast-flowing riffle chute. But we had trouble finding fantails and stripetails. Most of the ones we wound up with, ~23, were caught using my pushnet the old-fashioned way, setting the net downstream from a rock and kicking in to it. Jeremy got really good at it luckily. Several of those fish were males with egg mimics on the tips of their first dorsal fin. It was a warm day and we were able to wade summer-style without waders. I bet it won't be next time.
